Algorithmics is a leading provider of enterprise risk-management software for managing credit, market and operational risk—as well as collateral and asset-liability management—across the trading and banking books. Its premiere offering, Algo Suite, is based on the award-winning Mark-to-Future methodology and is a proven enterprise risk-management solution that supports the requirements of Basel II. Headquartered in Toronto, with 15 offices around the world, Algorithmics serves more than 150 global clients with 170 installations in 31 countries.
In response to clients' need for improved application performance, scalable hardware solutions, mission-critical reliability and, most importantly, a reduction in total hardware costs, Algorithmics offers a distributed computing version of Algo Suite that uses the Mark-to-Future framework to leverage the power of Linux grids. The distributed computing solution on Linux makes it possible for Algo Suite simulations to be spread across multiple CPUs on multiple machines. These machines can either be fully dedicated to running the simulations or they can be non-dedicated machines contributing excess capacity. After the implementation is complete, the solution scales easily and allows clients to add additional computing resources without further implementation or configuration work required, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership.
Key Benefits of Algo Suite on Linux:
- Improved performance and scalability
- On-demand capacity to scale the Mark-to-Future framework without any modifications to the implementation
- Mission-critical reliability including rapid deployment and application resiliency
- Reduced hardware, services and implementation costs
- Compliance with IT open standards including grid computing

DataSynapse deploys a self-managed, guaranteed, distributed computing platform, LiveClusterTM, that delivers order of magnitude increases in the speed and reliability of software applications while substantially reducing clients' total cost of ownership. LiveCluster solves compute- and data-intensive bottlenecks by unobtrusively harnessing the power of servers, clusters and/or desktops anywhere on a client's network, whether dedicated or underutilized. LiveCluster integrates easily with new or legacy applications running on Linux, UNIX, or Windows systems. It provides automated process management, scalable programming architecture, guaranteed service execution and self-recovering adaptive load balancing built on a state-of-the-art, extensible architecture.
LiveCluster supports a simple but powerful model for distributed computing. The software partitions large workloads into smaller tasks; distributes these tasks in parallel to dedicated clusters and/or underutilized, intermittently available computing resources; and returns results to the client application without user intervention or system-management overhead. Moreover, LiveCluster facilitates UNIX to Linux migrations by enabling clients to leverage a distributed architecture with minimal code changes, and without the expense of maintaining a proprietary distributed framework, by writing to LiveCluster APIs.
Key benefits of deploying the LiveCluster platform include:
- Time-to-deploy advantages of adopting a proven, scalable, out-of-the-box solution;
- Order of magnitude (100x or more) improvements in application performance;
- "Lights-out" environment;
- Liberating developers from maintenance to revenue-driven development; and, easy migration of legacy or next-generation applications with minimal coding.
